As I went down a shady lane at a door I chanced to knock
Have you any pots or kettles with rusty holes to block?
Well indeed I have, don't you know I have
Do me right for lure a laddie, well indeed I have
The missus came out to the door, she asked me to come in
Said you're welcome jolly tinker, and I hope you brought your tin
Well indeed I did, don't you know I did
Do me right for lure a laddie, well indeed I did
She took me through the kitchen and she led me through the hall
And the servants cried the dibble as he come to block us all
Well indeed I have, don't you know I have
Do me right for lure a laddie, well indeed I have
She took me up the stairs me lads to show me what to do
Then she fell on the feathery bed and I fell on it too
Well indeed I did, don't you know I did
Do me right for lure a laddie, well indeed I did
She then picked up the frying pan and she began to knock
For to let the servants know me lads that I was at me work
And well indeed I was, don't you know I was
Do me right for lure a laddie, well indeed I was
She put her hand into her pocket and she pulled out twenty pound
Take this me jolly tinker and we'll have another round
Well indeed we will, don't you know we will
Do me right for lure a laddie, well indeed we will
Well I've been a jolly tinker now for forty years or more
Ah but such a rusty hole as that I never blocked before
Well indeed I didn't, don't you know I didn't
Do me right for lure a laddie, well indeed I didn't
